Al Horford of the Philadelphia 76ers went back to the TD Garden for the first time since leaving the Boston Celtics. The home crowd put on a class act by giving the veteran center a standing ovation.

In the clip below from John Karalis of MassLive, the crowd exploded as he was shown on the jumbotron.

Horford spent just three seasons donning the Celtics jersey. But he was instrumental in helping the team to multiple playoff appearances, including two consecutive trips of the Eastern Conference Finals. And in his return, Celtics diehards showed him nothing but love for everything that he's done.
